There is a 100% chance I will be replacing my Parker this year, and I want to order a new crossbow in time for the fall.

Do you have a permit!

Tim - if you're going to get a new xbow, don't overthink this... Tenpoint Crossbows. You can get a low end model all the way up to their high end model. But no matter what you get, their quality is top notch and their customer service is the best in the industry by a country mile. I have a Tenpoint Titan Xtreme that's been flawless and will most likely be replacing it with a Tenpoint Turbo M1 mainly for the narrowness of it.

Are you free October 12th?   You can break in your new crossbow on a live hunt with me and LPJR.

go someplace and shoot all that you like thats what I did , in the end you have to be happy with what you buy.  I will say I went with excalibur  I liked how it shot and the ease of changing the string I can be back hunting in a couple minutes. and you can order custom strings to the specs you want I usually buy two at a time $25 -$30 bucks each just keep track and have what you got made the same each time. as for customer service my scope spring went bad after two years and they had someone send me a new scope from within the US over night and just put the old one in the shipping box with the new label and done.  in the end if you are using it so make sure its what you want..

Right now I am narrowing it down between Ten Point and Excalibur.  I like the more compact models because I tend to hunt in cover and have a pack that I can put it in like a rifle to pack it into and out of the woods.

I used to put the Parker in the back of my pack but needed to have a piece of paracord to tie it to the top of the pack to secure it properly.  So that's leaning me towards the smaller bows.

He was talking to me.  Get away from my honey hole arrangement!  No need to burn my spot with a pile of Pall Mall butts...

If I was packing in the crossbow and other gear as well, Ravin would be my choice.

I was also going to chat with Tim at Tackle and Field.  I usually pick his brain and get some excellent advice.

I have a Scorpyd DS420. Extremely balanced and lightweight. It really is dead in your hand like the reviews say. Safety is silent, trigger is crisp.

goto crossbownation.com many folks there with lots of knowledge on crossbows
